WAR MEMORIES
Story A Death of a Village
Do Chuc is a 48-year-old① Vietnamese farmer whose two daughters and aunt were killed by American soldiers② in My Lai that day[1]．He and his family were eating breakfast when the American soldiers entered the village[2] and ordered all civilians out of their homes．Together with③ other villagers, they were marched④ a few hundred metres into the village square where they were told to sit[3]．“Still we had no reason to be afraid，” Chuc remembered．“Everyone was calm．We'd seen it all before．” Then he watched in surprise⑤ as the soldiers set up⑥ a machine gun．The calm ended and panic⑦ set in．The people began weeping⑧ and praying⑨．One man showed his identification⑩ papers to a soldier, but the American simply said, “Sorry．” Then the shooting started．Chuc was wounded in the leg and almost unconscious ， but he was covered by a pile of dead bodies and thus, his life was saved．After waiting an hour, he fled the village ．(Adapted from My Lai 4 by Seymour Hersh)
[1] whose two daughters．．．是whose引导的定语从句，修饰farmer。
[2] be doing．．．when．．．表示“正在做……这时……”。
[3] where引导定语从句，修饰the village square。
Story B No More Fighting
We were on the frontier and on Christmas morning we stuck up a board displaying “A Merry Christmas” on it．The enemy had stuck up a similar one．Two of our men then threw their equipment off and climbed out of the trench with their hands above their heads[4] as our representatives ．Two of the Germans did the same．They greeted each other and shook hands ．Then we all got out of the trench．Bill (our officer) tried to prevent it but it was too late, so he and the other officers climbed out, too．We, and the Germans, walked through the mud and met in the middle of no-man's land．
[4]此处是with复合结构，其中介词短语作宾补。
We spent all day with one another ．Some of them could speak English．By the look of them, their trenches were in as bad a state as our own．One of their men, speaking in English[5], said that he had worked in England for some years and that he was fed up to the neck with this war and would be glad when it was over [6]．We told him he wasn't the only one who was fed up with it．The German officer asked Bill if we would like some beer and they brought it over to us．Bill distributed the beer among us and we consumed a lot．The officers came to an understanding that we would celebrate Christmas in temporary peace until midnight[7]．
[5]speaking in English是动词-ing形式短语作后置定语，修饰One of their men。
[6]两个that都引导宾语从句。
[7]that引导同位语从句，解释说明understanding的内容。
Just before midnight ， we all decided not to start firing before they did．We'd formed a bond and during the whole of Boxing Day, we never fired a shot and they the same; each side seemed to be waiting for the other to set the ball rolling ．One of their men shouted across in English and asked how we had enjoyed the beer．We replied that we were very grateful and spent the whole day chatting with them．That evening we were replaced by other soldiers．(Adapted from Old Soldiers Never Die by Frank Richards)
Story C Brave Patient
I got a phone call from the chief nurse ， saying, “You've got a patient there who is going to get an award ．Make sure that the ward looks good．” This really turned me off to begin with, “Let's clean up the ward because we've got VIPs coming in．” Well, the VIPs happened to be a general and a group of about a dozen people．It was this patient's second visit to us and this time he'd had both his legs blown off [8]—he was all of about 20 years old．When he was waking up after the surgeon had finished, he whispered， “Don't you remember me, ma'am？” I said, “Oh yeah！” But really I didn't because there were so many of them．The general was coming to give him the award because he happened to be number 20，000 to come through this hospital．They had this little ceremony， where they presented him with a Purple Heart and a watch．As the general handed him the watch, “from the army, to show our appreciation，” the kid more or less threw the watch back at him．He said something like, “I can't accept this, sir; it's not going to help me walk．” After this little incident， I went over and took him in my arms．If I remember correctly, I started sobbing and I think he was crying, too．I really admired him for that．That was the only time I let somebody see what I felt．It took a lot for him to do that, and it sort of said what this war was all about to me．(Adapted from A Piece of My Heart by Keith Walker)
[8] 此处是have ＋宾语＋过去分词，意为“遭受某种不幸的事情”。
战争回忆
故事A 一个村庄的毁灭
杜沙是一位48岁的越南农民，他的两个女儿和姑姑在“美莱大屠杀”那天被美国士兵杀害了。他和家人正在吃早餐，这时美国士兵进村了，命令所有村民从家里出来。他们和其他村民一起被驱赶了几百米，走进了村里的广场，在那里他们被命令坐下。“我们仍然觉得没什么可怕的。”杜沙回忆道，“每个人都很平静。我们以前都经历过这样的事情。”接着，他吃惊地看到美国兵架起了一把机关枪。平静结束了，恐慌开始了。人们开始哭泣，乞求。一个男人给一个美国兵看他的身份证件，但是这个美国人只是说了句“对不起”。接下来，扫射开始了。杜沙的腿受了伤，几乎不省人事，但他被一堆尸体覆盖，幸存下来。等了一个小时后，他逃离了这个村子。(摘选自西摩·赫什的《美莱大屠杀4》)
故事B 圣诞无战事
我们当时在前线，圣诞节那天早晨，我们竖起了一块牌子，上面写着“圣诞节快乐”。敌方也竖起了一块类似的牌子。我们的两个人作为代表，扔掉装备，双手举过头顶从战壕中爬出来。两个德国人也这样做了。他们互相问候、握手。然后所有人都走出了战壕。比尔(我们的军官)想阻止，但是已经太晚了，因此他和其他军官也爬出了战壕。我们和德国人一起走过了泥地，在不属于任何一方的中间地带会面。
我们在一起待了一整天。他们有些人会说英语，从他们的样子看，他们的战壕和我们的一样糟糕。他们中的一个人用英语说，他在英国工作过几年，受够了这场战争，如果战争结束，他会很高兴。我们告诉他不只是他一个人烦透了这场战争。德国军官问比尔想不想来几桶啤酒，然后他们就搬来了几桶。比尔在我们当中分发了啤酒，我们喝了很多。双方军官达成共识，午夜之前我们将暂时和平地庆祝圣诞节。
就在午夜之前，我们都决定不在他们开枪之前开火。我们建立了一种默契，整个节礼日，我们都没有开过一枪，他们也一样；双方似乎都在等对方先开火。他们有个人用英语喊话，问我们啤酒味道怎么样。我们回应说很感激他们，然后一整天都在和他们聊天。到了傍晚另外一些士兵取代了我们的位置。(摘选自弗兰克·理查兹的《老兵永生》)
故事C 勇敢的病人
我接到护士长的电话，她说：“你那儿有个病人要得奖了，一定把病房弄得整洁些。”这话一开始就让我很反感，“是大人物要来才收拾病房吧。”噢，这些大人物碰巧是位将军和大约十几人的陪同团。这是这个病人第二次来到我们这里，而这次他的双腿都被炸没了——他也就才二十几岁。当他在外科医生做完手术后醒来时，低声说：“难道你不记得我了吗，女士？”我答道：“哦，我记得！”但实际上我记不起来他是谁，因为病人实在太多了。将军来给他颁奖，因为他恰好是进入这个医院的第两万名伤员。他们举行了一个小的颁奖仪式，授予他一枚紫心勋章和一块表。当将军将那块“来自军部，象征我们的感谢”的表递给他时，这个孩子几乎是将表一把给他扔回。他说了几句话，大意是：“我不要这块表，长官；它并不能帮我走路。”在这个小插曲之后，我走过去拥抱了他。如果我没记错的话，我当时哭了，我想他也哭了。我确实很佩服他当时那么做。那是唯一一次我让别人明白了我的真实感受。他那么做是很需要勇气的，这也多少反映了我对这场战争的看法。(摘选自凯斯·沃克的《心之彼方》)
